Young stand thinning in Western Oregon : cost comparison of harvesting alternatives and comparison of time study techniques

Creator:: Hossain, Mohammad Mozaffar
Abstract:: Harvesting costs were determined for commercial thinning of young stands to achieve vegetation and wildlife objectives. This included replicated comparisons of thinning treatments. Treatments were defined based on residual tree stocking after thinning. Study procedures were developed and evaluated to improve statistical relevance. Multiple linear regression models were used to...

Growth and yield, structure, composition, and soil compaction in a Western Oregon Douglas-fir forest after 35 years of modified selection thinning

Creator:: Stringer, Darin S.
Abstract:: Modified selection thinning has been utilized by some non-industrial foresters in Douglas-fir forests of Western Oregon and Washington for at least 35 years. This silvicultural strategy has not been tested, but has often been associated with reduced volume production and other undesirable effects. It continues to be used on many...

Damage to young Douglas-fir stands from commercial thinning with various timber harvesting systems and silvicultural prescriptions : characteristics, sampling strategy for assessment and future value loss

Creator:: Han, Han-Sup, 1961-
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of thinning on residual stands helps forest managers achieve management objectives associated with sustainability and quality control. Stand damage control becomes more critical as thinning prescriptions in the Pacific Northwest are increasingly required for intensive management of second-growth young stands. The purpose of this study was to...

Comparative effects of precommercial thinning, urea fertilizer, and red alder in a site 11, coast Douglas-fir plantation

Creator:: Miller, Richard E., Obermeyer, Edmund L., and Anderson, Harry William
Abstract:: The authors varied the number of red alder retained with 300 Douglas-fir per acre on a high-quality site in coastal Oregon. Alder densities of 0, 20, 40, and 80 per acre were tested. The authors' fifth treatment eliminated nitrogen-fixing alder, but substantial nitrogen fertilizer. Treatment 6 had neither thinning nor...

The effects of thinning on stand and tree growth in a young, high site Douglas-fir stand in western Oregon

Creator:: Marshall, David D.
Abstract:: The Levels-of-Growing-Stock Studies in Douglas-fir is a regional cooperative to investigate the effects of levels of growing stock on young stand growth. The Hoskins installation, in western Oregon, was established in a dense, high site natural stand at total age 20 years. The initial thinning resulted in an immediate 131...

Logging planning and layout costs for thinning : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Milota, Ginger, Stringham, Bennett, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Logging planning and layout costs were examined for commercial thinning of 40- to 50-yr-old stands of Douglas-fir on the Willamette National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. The study consisted of four replications of three silvicultural treatments. Thinning involved three types of logging systems: mechanized cut-to-length (a combination of...

Development of Douglas-fir log quality, product yield, and stand value after repeated thinnings in western Oregon

Creator:: Christensen, Glenn A.
Abstract:: Forest managers are beginning to take an interest in management of young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in Western Oregon and Washington. Studies have established the relationship between growth and levels-of-growing-stock but few have established a link to wood quality and value. This study used data collected from a long...

Interacting effects of stand density, site factors, and nutrients on productivity and productive efficiency of Douglas-fir plantations in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Velazquez-Martinez, Alejandro
Abstract:: The objectives of this research were to study: a) the effect of thinning and treatments consisting of pruning and multinutrient fertilization on aboveground biolnass increment, growth efficiency (GE), and foliar nutrients; b) the influence of topoedaphic variables (soil nutrients, slope, aspect, and rock content) and foliar nutrients on both leaf...

Effects of stand density reduction on structural development in western Oregon Douglas-fir forests : a reconstruction study

Creator:: Bailey, John Duff, 1961-
Abstract:: This research examined thinning effects on stand structure and species composition in 50- to 120-year-old Douglas-fir forests. Thirty-two paired stands (thinned and unthinned) were measured throughout western Oregon, as were 20 old-growth stands for comparison. Thinnings occurred 10 to 24 years previously and ranged in intensity from 8 to 60%...

Pollen contamination trends in a maturing Douglas-fir seed orchard

Creator:: Adams, W. T., Hipkins, Valerie D., Burczyk, J., and Randall, W. K.
Abstract:: Pollen contamination was investigated in one block (block 4) of a 10-block Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seed orchard complex in western Oregon. Blocks (25 clones each) represent different breeding zones; thus, contaminant pollen sources not only included the adjacent natural stand of Douglas-fir, but also other blocks within the...
